This skirt is light pink. It looks darker in the picture than it is in person. Very girly! Very soft! Very pretty!
This skirt is teal. On the color chart it is called arabian. Very pretty. This is a very popular color for spring! It looks great with so many colors! White, black, green apple, yellow, light pink, and especially hot pink. I am working on a mini-petti skirt with several of these colors. I cannot wait to finish it. I will post pics soon.
Hi! I am a stay at home mom of two and fan of pettiskirts for my daughter. I knew that I could never (would never) buy her one for $100 or more! So I started making them myself. I have learned a lot (and still am) but what I really love is how creative I can be. Apparently other people think so as well because I have started selling them. Info and prices are listed to the right. Also, please feel free to contact me for any information. Thank you, Carla. minncj@gmail.com

Robbinsdale Craft/Bake Sale and Flea Market
So the sale was fun. I didn't sell any skirts, but I got my name out and I had 5 skirts to show. Funny enough, when I was making the skirts I was thinking "I hope this doesn't sell because it would be perfect on Ella" and "I hope this one doesn't sell because it would be perfect for my niece." I am okay with not selling any, I really don't want to be overwhelmed with orders. They take time and this isn't a full time business, just a really pretty, fun hobby! :)
I love the way the teal one turned out. I used a little different satin on the waist (a little thicker, not as shiny). I will make a smaller one for Ella and see how it holds up. It should be nice, that satin was more expensive than the regular one I use. Funny enough, the person next to us at the sale was the husband of a friend. He is a photographer, here is his link: http://www.johnfellman.com/
We had a great day overall, even with it being chilly and some cloud cover. People were in good spirits and there was a great mix of vendors and of course plenty of yummy treats and coffee.

Working hard or hardly working??
Yeah, right. I am working hard. Look at my workstation: Organized chaos. I am getting ready for this Craft/Bake sale here in Robbinsdale. It is May 9 at City Hall. I will have a booth with my skirts. My aunt has a space reserved also with all things that grandma has been working on. Gotta keep grandma busy or she'll get into trouble. :)
